On Saturday, October 18, 2025 Ogden Museum of Southern Art hosted its annual O What a Night! Gala, honoring  Dawn DeDeaux, an internationally acclaimed, New Orleans-based multimedia artist and Randy K. Haynie, a longstanding advocate and philanthropist for the arts in Louisiana, with the 2025 Opus Award. The evening featured a live and silent auction, a seated dinner, dancing and live music. Thank you to all of our sponsors and patrons for making the event a success.
